« Palestine Will Live! » it was one of the most harmless slogans I heard in this Parisian demonstration to support Palestinian people dying under Israeli shelling. Others were much more full of raging anger like « Israel murderer! Hollande1 accomplice! »

So, once again, Palestinian people are enduring a real massacre perpetrated by one of the most modern and strongest armies in the world, against which they have no defense, and this with a feeling of total indifference from the international diplomacy. The question is: How long again the Western world will support and protect a state (Israel) which is clearly endangering world peace, by persisting in a colonialist policy coming from 19th century!
These times are gone! You can’t think anymore to make disappear a whole nation and just steal their land.

Why Palestinians should pay for Western crimes against Jews?

One of the issues, in this terrible drama, is the ongoing myths and lies fostered by media to make believe that Israel stands with any rights on the lands that they try to steal in addition of the ones granted by UN (frontiers from before 1967). They have none, of course, and more, even if we know that undoing the UN creation of Israel in 1948 is not anymore an option. We also know that this creation was totally unfair to Palestinian people who were kind of called to pay for the Western guiltiness in regard of Jewish people, when they were totally innocent of the crimes committed against them. My take being that even if Israel effectively has to be confirmed in its 1967 frontiers (and only these ones!), Palestinian people still have to be compensated for the loss of it.

The myth of coming back in « God’s given land. »

Before I end this post, I would want to denounce one more time this fundamental myth and irrelevant reasoning upon which this terrible oppression and spoliation of Palestinian people is based. We all know that Israeli people are Jews from all over the world, kind of claiming a right to return to a land that was given to them by God, 2000 years ago, and the story telling is that they would have been expelled from it.
I’ll pass rapidly on the ludicrous claim to legitimacy of God’s gift. If we were to take in account all the people who claim to have right on a land because it was given to them by the God in which they believe, the whole world would be a big mess in no time. Not to mention that, to my knowledge, no God coming from any religion has ever received an acknowledgment from international laws, and thankfully so! But even if you remove God from the equation, what to think of: « We were there 2000 years ago, … buggers off! We’re coming back! » Are you kidding me?

That too is ludicrous of course! Take the history of people moving over the planet and imagine that all the ones who where somewhere one millennium or two ago, have a sudden right to eject the people who are now living there. Please, would you be so kind to clear Manhattan at once and give it back to Indians! Now you know what? Even if this story of having left Palestine 2000 years ago would be no ground to claim the land today, the story is not even true! It’s a myth as well, and I bought it for quite a long time. That’s the problem with history, it’s mainly written by the ones who won the wars and they make it what arrange them. So there was in fact no massive exodus of Jews from Palestine. And there is the irony of the story, the real descendants of original Palestine Jews are the Palestinian themselves!

Coming back to Historical truth and justice for everyone.

Of course I wouldn’t give you such stunning information without linking it to reliable sources and I have the best one in the Person of Shlomo Sand, Israeli Professor of History at Tel Aviv university, he wrote wonderful books on the matter, of which I’ll give you the references. His books have been translated in more language than any other Israeli books, so believe me, if they were telling lies Shlomo Sand would have had big problems with justice. The main books I’m referring to are :

So I entice you to at least go see the links where Shlomo Sand talks about these books. He is a guy who wants the truth and justice for everyone, a guy along my heart!

1. Not « Hollande » the country, but our president François Hollande, who publicly aligned with B. Netanyahu when the latter is presenting Israel (an occupying and colonizer country) as just « defending » oneself.
